"Oh?"

Ji Zhen's provocative look aroused Yu Min's competitive spirit. In front of Ji Zhen, she grabbed the box in her hand and threw it up lightly, and the huge box stood on her fingertips.

Yu Min winked at Ji Zhen and quickly pressed and pushed the box with his fingers. After a series of creaking sounds from the gears inside the box, there was a crisp click and a satisfied smile appeared on Yu Min's face.

She raised her wrist and threw the box to Ji Zhen again. She looked at her with raised eyebrows and said:

"Try again and see if you can burn this will."

Ji Zhen took the box thrown by Yu Min and felt speechless.

Goodness, she was really short-sighted. She didn't realize that this loyal and brave Marquis actually had such a beautiful mechanical skill.

However, mechanical engineering is an extremely secretive skill. This Lord Loyal and Brave Marquis actually performed it in front of her so nonchalantly. Was he sure that she couldn't do it, or was he sure that even if she was proficient in mechanical engineering, she wouldn't be able to open her mechanical box?

Of course she could open it, after all, her mother Ji Xi's hobby was to tinker with various small mechanisms. When she was a child, the mechanism library in the general's mansion was where Ji Zhen played. Ji Zhen gently stroked the lines on the top of the sunken box and smiled imperceptibly.

But now this box must not be opened, otherwise it would be unfair to the table full of glass cakes and pork porridge.

Ji Zhen gently placed the box in his hand on the table, and with a look of regret, he bowed to Yu Min and said:

"How dare I, a humble junior, show off my skills in front of the Marquis?"

"Well, I hope you don't dare to do anything rash."

Yu Min leaned back in her chair, feeling relieved. Then, she heard Ji Zhen continue:

"Since the Marquis is so skilled, then the will should be kept here forever. It will have a place to go."

"Nonsense! The purpose of a will is to be read aloud. Put it in a box? Why don't you say to take it to the grave?"

The frown that had finally relaxed was knotted again by Ji Zhen's unhurried voice, but he could not forget that Ji Zhen actually praised Yu Min after hearing her angry words:

"That's even better. The Marquis really cares about the world. I admire him."

"Ji Zhen!"

Yu Min was so angry at Ji Zhen that she fell backwards. She slapped the armrest of the chair and said angrily:

"Behave yourself! Do you believe I can teach you a lesson on your mother's behalf?"

Seeing that Yu Min was angry, Ji Zhen stood up from his chair and bowed to her respectfully:

"When I was young and ignorant, I was taught by the Marquis in your mansion. Now, although I am not talented, I am honored to be a prince, but I know that everything in the world should not go against the wishes of the people. If the Marquis really abandons the people and insists on this edict, Ji Zhen is willing to stay in your mansion and ask for your advice again."

Ji Zhen stood there, bowing respectfully, but still said that she would not back down. This look of determination to fight her to the end made Yu Min laugh.

"Good, good, good."

Yu Min slowly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the spacious courtyard outside the flower hall, and sneered:

"Li Yuanzhen has already started carving a tombstone for you in the prison, and you are still here worrying about the country and the people? You are really a Qingyan County Prince who would risk his own life for the people! Today I want to weigh you and see if your bones are strong enough to be stepped on by the hooves of those lackeys in the East Palace."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Yu Min's hand and he attacked Ji Zhen.

Ji Zhen was already prepared in his heart. He misstepped his steps to avoid the sharp attack and quickly retreated to the courtyard.

Yu Min's move failed, and he burst into laughter:

"Girl, I haven't seen you for many years, but your Kung Fu hasn't fallen behind. Don't hide it, show it all to me!"

The wanton laughter spread in the courtyard. When the attendants heard it, they knew that the idle and almost moldy loyal and brave marquis was itching to fight with the stubborn Ji Zhen. The attendants were so scared that they dared not move, for fear that they would be too conspicuous and be used as punching bags by the loyal and brave marquis who did not give them a good fight.

Mingyue ran particularly fast. He stumbled back to the West Garden, pushed open the half-closed door on the second floor, slammed it shut, and leaned against the door, gasping for a long time before he came to his senses.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis was no joke when she started a fight. Because she was in a bad mood, she practiced martial arts for two hours in her own courtyard. She then destroyed the courtyard like a house being demolished, leaving the ground in pieces.

The current atrium is newly built, and she will start fighting again today, so I'm afraid it will have to be rebuilt again.

But Mingyue was not worried about this, but the Prince of Qingyan who dared to challenge the Marquis.

How brave! How can such a small person have such courage? If the courtyard is damaged, it can be rebuilt, but if the person is damaged, what should we do?

Wouldn’t his son be heartbroken?

The more Mingyue thought about it, the more frightened she became. She didn't care that she was here to snare Ji Zhen, and she ran back, hoping that Yu Jingxi would find a way to save the reckless prince.

But when he leaned against the door to catch his breath and looked into his son's eyes, he suddenly realized:

His son was so sick and hadn't slept all night, how could he go downstairs now? How could he go to that courtyard, which was already in such a mess?

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

Yu Jingxi, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by Mingyue's door closing. He opened his eyes and saw Mingyue's frightened expression. The only thing he thought of was Ji Zhen.

"No, it's not."

Mingyue replied hesitantly, but her evasive eyes completely betrayed him.

"What happened?"

The more Mingyue didn't talk, the more anxious Yu Jingxi became. He simply sat up from the bed, pulled his coat over himself and was about to get out of bed. Mingyue was so scared that she rushed over to support him and asked repeatedly:

"Sir, you haven't slept all night. Where are you going?"

"Go find your mother."

Yu Jingxi pushed Mingyue's hand away and said in a deep voice:

"You are the first-class attendant in this mansion. In this mansion, except for my brother and mother, who can scare you like this? My brother should still be resting at this time. It must be my mother who is making things difficult for Your Highness."

The more Yu Jingxi thought about it, the more anxious he became. However, the more anxious he became, the more unsteady his hands became. He couldn't even put on his cloud boots properly. He was so angry that his face turned pale. Seeing this, Mingyue quickly knelt at his feet and helped him put on his boots.

"Don't worry, young master. I am just exchanging blows with His Highness. I have practiced martial arts for many years, so I am sure I know my limits..."

"what?"

When Yu Jingxi heard that Yu Min was fighting with Ji Zhen, he felt something was wrong. He stood up immediately, not caring whether his boots were put on properly or his clothes were tied properly, and rushed to the courtyard in two or three steps.

But he was too weak. The moment he stood up, his eyes went dark and he fell limply to the ground.

"Young Master! Young Master!!"

Mingyue rushed forward and hugged Yu Jingxi. Looking at the person who had fainted in her arms, she could no longer control the fear in her heart and cried out at the top of her voice:

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! The young master is in trouble!"
